I'm not sure you're ready for this, kid.

It's pretty sad, but not really as poignant as the others.  Just harsh.

Lie Bot's working some pretty rough sadnesses these days. Somehow, though, this is still the least sad of them... I think it's the Taliban increasing the hyperbole to toxic levels.

If you think what Lie bot said was the center of the strip, you missed the point. The entire punchline, all the surreal Achewoodian humor, and Onstad's shark-jumping genius is encapsulated in the one throwaway line by Phillipe:

"I've been practicing."

The image of a five year old, retarded otter practicing finding out what the saddest thing is, is patently hilarious.

That or Onstad just threw a piece of poo at us so we wouldn't ding him for skipping a day to nurse his Labor Day Hangover.

The arm-akimbo stance was nice, too.

I dig this re-treading of classic Achewood topics. It's not alarmingly fun (that's a nice concept: something so funny it makes you go "oh shit" in-between guffaws), but it warms the old heart, and appeals to the Old Man that I am.

    I'm not so sure about "saddest thing"... You know, if I was an old bag lady dying of neglect - where is her family? - I'd be thinking "Ho ho ho..."
    But then I wouldn't be a good old bag lady. I'd be bitter and twisted: first class kids' movie villain material. ;D

Also, let me use the opportunity to address some remarks to that carefree, gay and merry soul that takes my tiny cans away:

Would you consider stopping it, my little bubbling gob of phlegm gushed forth from a teratoma fucked by a dog in the back alley of a hospital*? Please?



*She still owes that dog its fuck-money. For shame.

Yeah, ever since the new can rates have started there are some users who've gone into negative cans pretty unreasonably. What gives?

dejavroom, you get a can to help put you back on Respectable Street. Though normally complaining about how many cans you have is kind of lame, I think you're pretty much justified.

I know, I know (believe me, I *have had* negative scores on this board before, and even when they were like -30 I didn't say anything because, well, there was a story behind that...  ^^), but this just smacks so much of stupid juvenile behaviour that I had to comment on it. The post was more to vent a little, without *really* trying to crawl back up to positive scores. At the very least, it *is* a board phenomenon, and one with a trollish bent to it...

(thank you for the can, though. it's very cool, really)

  No! You will suffer from minus cans for all eternity! All traces of Dr. Pepper will be drained from your soul: you won't even know those 23 flavours exist!

   ...

   Actually I've never touched your cans one way or another, though your post coming after mine could be viewed as implying that.

Outstanding thread title.

Appears to be some commercial-quality work right there.

 For some reason I can give cans already. Haven't figured out why, maybe the can fairy came in the night ( don't quote me on that ).
